If you think ballet is all about the tutu, think again.
We asked three choreographers and three composers to collaborate on entirely new works for the Interplay programme, highlighting the electric partnership between dance and music. The result – three world premieres that will demonstrate the athleticism and invention of dance today.
The stylish and energetic works of New York-born Nicolo Fonte and Toronto-based Matjash Mrozewski have been grabbing attention on the international dance scene. In Interplay, their latest creations will be performed alongside a new work by Australian Stephen Baynes, whose 2007 piece Constant Variants was acclaimed by The Daily Telegraph as “stylish and successful… another success story for Baynes.”
Featuring brand new music from leading Australian composers Gerard Brophy, Richard Mills and Ross Edwards, this one is as much for the music lovers as for those looking for a more physical, stripped-back dance experience.
